How can I place a Shut Down icon on my Windows 98 desktop so I can shut downy computer without going through the Start menu?
To avoid damaging your information, and, potentially even your computer, you must shut down Windows before turning off your computer. Don't just press the button! You should close all open programs, then click Start, Shutdown and then OK.
You can create a shortcut on the desktop (an Icon) that you can double-click. That will replace the steps of clicking on Start, Shutdown and then OK. Here are the steps to set up that icon:
-Point to a blank area on the desktop.
-Click the right button on the mouse.
-On the menu that appears, point to New. Another menu will come out to the side; click on shortcut.
-In the Command line box, you'll see the insertion point (flashing vertical line). Type the following text in the command line box. (This text must be copied in EXACTLY as it's written. Hint: copy and paste the text from hereinto the box.)
C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL.EXE user.exe, exitwindows
-Click the Next button.
-Type a name for the Shortcut. (Suggestion: ShutDown)
-Click the Finish button.
You'll see the new icon on the desktop. When you're ready to turn your computer off, close all open programs. Double click on this icon instead of clicking Start, Shutdown and OK. |
